Hello Composers! =)
My name is Mike, founder of professionalcomposers.com, music composer and sound designer since 1998, old school nerd, and coffee addict. So grab a cup of coffee, and let’s check out some Orchestral Percussion VST Libraries! =)
A very dark and processed overall sound, including 700+ loops, 500+ one-shots and 58 kits. Damage is not about natural orchestral percussion. The focus is rather on epic, loud and hard impacts.
My Favorite Highlights
- Instant Trailer type Epic Percussion
- The Punish Knob for even more “Heat”
- Powerful User Interface
- The Room Placement Mixer
CinePerc was recorded at the SONY Scoring Stage in Los Angeles, and mixed by master engineer Dennis Sands. This is the great “all-in-one” orchestral percussion package, with that instant “Hollywood Sound”.
My Favorite Highlights
- 4 libraries in one (Core, Pro, Epic, Aux)
- Great Hollywood Sound
- The Microphone Mix Controls
- Includes a Full Ensemble Patch (great for quick mockups)
Spring reverb free vst. Recorded at Air Studios via an impressive signal chain: 96 rarefied microphones into Neve Montserrat preamps, into the world’s biggest Neve 88R desk. And the selection of percussion included is extensive.
My Favorite Highlights
- Great Selection of Percussion (especially in the low-range)
- Many Powerful Soundshaping Features
- Includes Ensembles and Solo Patches
- The Interface is very Straightforward
Gigantic percussion library (150GB sample set) recorded at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Germany. All instruments were recorded in their natural positions, which gives you a natural percussion mix.
My Favorite Highlights
- Build your own percussion ensembles
- True Damping Feature
- Uniform mapping structure
- Different Mallets for respective instruments
StrikeForce was recorded at 192k in many various recording studios, halls, tunnels, rooms in Los Angeles. The focus is on a modern cinematic sound, compared to a natural orchestral sound. This library will give you big ensembles, anvils, sub boom, and “ticktocks” that simply works great for that big and modern sound.
My Favorite Highlights
- Modern Cinematic Sound
- The Sound Categories
- 5 Different Drum Tunings
- Lots of Round Robins
Action strikes includes 12 full ensembles plus 65 single instruments and 12 carefully-compiled Hit Sets. Even though the main focus is on building percussion from phrases that you trigger with key switches, you can use the individual patches to play the sounds manually.
My Favorite Highlights
- Great for Writing Percussion Parts fast (Ex: Mockups)
- The Categorization of Low, Mid and High Parts
- Adjust accent strength with the pitch wheel
- Change Dynamics with the MOD-wheel
An orchestral percussion library with a great variation of low and high percussion instruments, as well as a set of mallet instruments. A very natural orchestral percussion sound, with amazing dynamics, recorded in the Hall at Air Lyndhurst.
My Favorite Highlights
- Great true recorded dynamic range
- Quick and Easy mapping
- Great Sound Shaping Controls
SAGA, which has the subtitle “Acoustic Trailer Percussion” is of course focusing on trailer type percussion based on recorded sounds. It gives you a range of drum ensembles, dynamic metals, and even world instruments. Recorded in a fairly dry hall with 2 microphone positions. There are over 110 instruments in total, including special sounds like giant silos, metal doors, machinery etc.
My Favorite Highlights
- Up to 7 dynamic layers and 10 round robin
- Multiple articulations (rolls, rims, edges.)
- Simple & Straightforward GUI
- The Extra Field Recordings (Machinery, Tools etc.)

- Tremolo, Crescendo Roll, Flam, Edge variations and FX articulations
- 5 microphone mixes including spot microphone
- Drum Head Resonance Simulation
- Inspiring and simple interface
This library is based on one of the most used percussion instruments in cinematic music, the Japanese Taiko drums. Taiko Creator allows you to create, control and generate multiple solo and ensemble groups of your own, all playable from a single interface. From mega big, and low booming Taikos…to sharp stick hits.
My Favorite Highlights

- Extremely playable out of the box (all in one patch if you wish)
